Cocoon 2.1.10 problems

[Ellis Pritchard <el...@nukinetics.com>]

Hi,

Some context: I'm leaving my Cocoon-based job today, and don't know when 
I'll next work on it, so this is a heads-up that someone else might want 
to follow up:

As well as bug COCOON-1985 from yesterday, I've got two more problems 
since upgrading from Cocoon 2.1.8 to 2.1.10:

1/ Critical: ehcache doesn't work at all with 2.1.10. No cache entries 
were being generated, despite the logs showing the entries being made 
and the cache entry making it all the way to the EHCache code itself. I 
couldn't trace any further with this version, but upgraded to EHCache 
1.2.4, and the caching worked again. Serious!

2/ Annoying: someone commented out the line 458 in 
org.apache.cocoon.components.store.impl.EHDefaultStore which means that 
it's impossible to set the location of the store from web.xml; 
EHDefaultStore basically ignores the disk-location you pass in the 
constructor (look at the comment for DiskStore), in favor of the 
configuration file. That hack with the system property seemed to be 
there for a reason:

        System.setProperty("java.io.tmpdir", directoryPath);

3/ Bad: restore from disk for eventbased cache no longer works; the key 
never seems to make it to the on-disk store on shutdown. Result; if you 
use the eventcache pipeline, all disk content is lost on restart.

Sorry for the brevity of this message, I'm literally being kicked out of 
the office now!

Best wishes!

Ellis.
